Buying a home is exciting, but before you jump in, it’s essential to ask the right questions. These 5 questions can help you make a smart, informed decision:
- Why is the seller moving?
Understanding their motivation can give you leverage during negotiations. Are they relocating for work? Downsizing? Timing may impact their willingness to negotiate. - What is the neighborhood like?
Drive through the area at different times of the day to get a feel for traffic, noise, and the community vibe. - How old are the major systems and appliances?
Knowing the age of the roof, HVAC, plumbing, and appliances can help you plan for future expenses. - Are there any restrictions or HOA rules?
If the home is in a neighborhood with an HOA, be sure to review the rules, fees, and restrictions. - What are the average utility costs?
High monthly bills can impact your overall budget, so it’s a good idea to ask about typical utility costs.
Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions you’ll make—having a trusted agent by your side makes all the difference. Let’s work together to find your dream home!
